history

For the first time in the long three-cushion history, a woman took part in this World Cup tournament. The 19-year-old Japanese Orie Hida finished second in her qualifying group after a loss to her teacher Joji Kai and a win against the Austrian Alexander Weiss and was eliminated. The Portuguese Manuel Fradinho and the Belgian Eddy Merckx played a sensational game in the first round . Fradinho won with 3: 1 sets and a very good average of 2.363 . Merckx also had a very good average of 1.952. Otherwise the tournament belonged to the Danes. They finished in first, third and fourth place. The best of them was 47-year-old Hans Laursen, who defeated the current Dutch world champion Rini van Bracht 3-1 in the final . In the game between the two Danish youngsters for third place, Dion Nelin prevailed against Brian Knudsen with 2-1 sets.
